Like MacKiddo mentioned, you could survive on that figure by sharing a small room with 2 other people, but does that fit your definition of "living moderately?"

True I think I should twin share. triple sharing is abit too much for me. so I have to plan my budget accordingly. any girl who are looking for roommate(not too far from tai seng), please pm me ....

If you are those foreveralone.jpg type, then i guess it really makes no different on your social life. Also family's time to consider. There must be a 'value' you have in mind to give all that up ? What's yours ?

If you look around, you might even get a room (small) all for yourself for around 550SGD ++ (no aircon, far from MRT etc.) Living with 2K is achievable but you won't have much savings (except if you save like crazy~ eat roti everyday  ) . I concur with Mackiddo, depends on what you want in the short / long term. I would say you could live quite comfortable with 1.5K++ (rent, food, transport, some minor bills) but this again depends on your lifestyle, etc.

Even with the efficiency of SG transport system you will not want to cram like sardine to work and back in bus / MRT after staying here for a while.

Different people with different backgrounds, working in different roles in different industries will be competing with different "levels" of competitors who subject them to vastly different "markets" and therefore different "market rates" will apply.
